It is NOT recommended to use an extension
cord with your microwave oven, but if you
find it necessary to do so temporarily (until a

receptacle is installed), use only a heavy
duty UL listed 3-wire grounding type
extension cord containing three 16-gauge
(minimum) copper wires. It must not be longer
than 10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may
affect the cooking performance of your
microwave oven). The plug on the extension
cord must fit into a 3-prong grounding type wall
receptacle (as shown on this page) and the
receptacle end of the extension cord must
accept the 3-prong grounding plug of the
microwave oven.

into the proper electrical outlet and
put about one cup (250mL) of cold
water in a glass container in the oven. Close the
door. Make sure it latches. Follow the directions on
page 6 to set the oven to COOK for 2 minutes. When
the time is up, the water should be heated.
